Anyone remember my nihonjijyou class? I talked about it before, even blogged about last year’s outing to Shiroito no Taki. This is the last year I can take the class, and for our final report outing, we decided to play an escape room game and then have dinner at the Moomin cafe at Canal City!… Read More Nihonjijyou Outing 2014: Escape Game and Moomin Cafe (脱出ゲームとムーミンカフェ)
This post is for +Whitney Yee, who requested that I write something about Yamakasa. So today marks the end of Hakata Gion Yamakasa. It actually has this really early sunrise march, but after yesterday’s match (YAY GERMANY WON), I really needed the sleep. But, I did go to one of the earlier events on Saturday –… Read More Yamakasa Oiyamanarashi （山笠追い山ならし）
Ok, before we start talking about food, let me take a few sentences to express my amazement at the Germany vs Brazil match. It was… unbelievable. And a bit sad for Brazil, since they were hoping for a win, but since I support Germany, I’m really happy with the outcome. The German Goalkeeper was amazing!… Read More Japan McDonald’s World Cup Menu (Part 2)
Ok, so every now and then, I post some random, non-Japan related book review on this blog. Why? Because I think it’ll be useful, especially to people living on their own. Well-heeled is a book targeted at girls to help them be more financially savvy. Although it’s for girls, I think the basics of financial… Read More Well-heeled by Lesley-Anne Scorgie
One of the things that I’ve joined this year is SCIKyu, or Student Group on Internationalisation of Kyushu University. It’s basically a group that researches the ways to make Kyushu University friendlier to foreign students and give the Japanese students a more international outlook. I joined because I think it’s a worthy goal, and if… Read More SCIkyu Overnight Meeting
今はあじさいの季節ですね〜これは家の近くで見つけたあじさいです（笑） Apparently, Ajisai aka Hydrangea season is just over. I’m not too sure, but by the time I noticed that “hey, there are’s a Ajisai festival”, the places that I wanted to go were closed (they ended on June 30th, which just goes to show how slow I am haha). But, I did take some… Read More Ajisai Photos・あじさいの写真
This post is for +Magdalena Dyguś, who requested I write about the clubs I’m in. Hey everyone! Today, I’ll be writing about the golf club in Kyushu University. Technically, I’m in three different clubs, but Golf is the one I’ve been in the longest (also, it doesn’t really count if you just join the club’s line… Read More Kyushu University Golf Club
… realising that your student’s mother stamps totoro stamps onto your pay envelopes. d’awww, now I can’t throw them away! This semester is the first semester where I’m actually working (more than once a week). It’s pretty interesting having to juggle work, school and leisure time.
Time is definitely flying past me. And one way time slapped me in the face to let me know that this is my third year in Japan (so fast? I still feel like I just came!) was by having my visa come close to expiring. If you’ve been following this blog (hello! Thank you!), you… Read More How To Renew Your Student Visa
Quick question! What do Princess Mononoke, Fantastic Children or the Girl Who Leapt Through Time have in common? Well, they’re all films that Yamamoto Nizo has worked upon as an Art Director. And right now, there’s a special exhibition at the Fukuoka Asia Art Museum called The World of Yamamoto Nizo: Master of Japanese Animation… Read More The World of Yamamoto Nizo Exhibition
